Caramelized Skillet Peaches (Print Version)
Peaches cooked with brown sugar plus some warm, cozy spices. Great hot with anything you love on the side.
# Ingredients:
→ Fruit
01 -
4 ripe peaches
→ Caramelization
02 -
Pinch of salt
03 -
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
04 -
1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
05 -
Quarter teaspoon ground ginger
06 -
Half teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Steps:
01 -
Halve and pit your peaches. If you'd like, slice them into nice, chunky wedges so they keep their shape when cooking.
02 -
Start melting butter in a wide pan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring till it all looks smooth and starts to bubble up.
03 -
Pop the peach halves into the pan, flat side facing down. Let them fry for about 5 to 7 minutes. Don’t mess with them so they get that deep golden color.
04 -
Carefully flip the peaches. Let them cook for 2 or 3 more minutes till they're soft and golden on the back, too.
05 -
Serve your hot peaches while they're fresh. Have them plain or toss on some ice cream, yogurt, pancakes or whatever you fancy.
# Notes:
01 -
You can switch the peaches out for apples, nectarines, or plums.
02 -
Dairy-free? Use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter.
03 -
Cutting wedges a bit thicker helps them hold together while frying.
04 -
Try adding a splash of vanilla or a dash of nutmeg or cloves if that's your thing.
05 -
Use white sugar, honey, maple syrup, or even palm sugar instead if you want.
06 -
If you've only got salted butter, you can skip adding extra salt.
07 -
Let them stay in the pan a little longer for a dark, toasty, smoky flavor.
08 -
If you want grill marks, a grill pan does the trick.
